$ DENNIS RICH/DEMOCRAT Citizens Against Spousal Abuse volunteer Brenda Gardner takes a break from answering phone calls on Friday at CASA's domestic abuse shelter. Gardner logs some 1,600 volunteer hours per year, often serving as the first point of contact for callers to the shelter's crisis hotline. By Dennis Rich
For many women seeking shelter through Citizens Against Spousal Abuse, Brenda Gardner is their first point of contact. Now in her seventh year as a volunteer, Gardner’s calm demeanor and friendly voice can help defuse crises for callers to CASA’s hotline — the first step for women seeking to escape an abusive situation. “She is the bright, cheery voice that answers our phones. Whether it be for vendors, donors, colleagues or crisis hotline callers, she is the one that greets them all, and she is often the first person many of our victims talk to. She has an amazing ability to calm them down and find out exactly what is going on. Plus, she knows our office staff so well she knows the appropriate staff member to direct them to,” said CASA Executive Director Lori Haney. Gardner, who logs about 32 hours per week, said she enjoys working with CASA and is glad to be the calming voice for women and families in a crisis situation. Having lost her sight because of a degenerative eye condition she was diagnosed with in her teens, Gardner volunteered for a number of years through Sheltered Workshop and has earned an associate’s degree in psychology from State Fair Community College. She said she has never been content to let her
blindness keep her from being active and “just trying to help my community however I can.” “I really love what I do. I love talking on the phone and saying hello to the women and just being able to help. Sometimes I wish I could do more and be more involved, but I am happy with what I have,” Gardner said. Haney said that Gardner’s personality and attitude also help boost morale with co-workers, who deal with high-stress situations. “What she does for us as a volunteer is so helpful, but her attitude is kind of infectious. We are all pretty attached to her. She doesn’t ask for much and doesn’t complain, and is always here for us when we need her,” Haney said. Gardner’s assistance, which amounts to about 1,600 volunteer hours per year, also helps satisfy local matching contribution requirements for state, federal and private grants that help fund CASA’s overall mission. “I wouldn’t want to think about where we would be without her,” Haney said. Gardner said she keeps her work and personal life separate and makes it a point not to bring the stress of her work home with her. “When I get home I like to listen to the radio or the TV. Plus I have two cats, and they can keep me pretty busy. I just like to stay on the move all the time,” Gardner said.

Bridging Infrastructure And Funds
(NAPS)—While allocating the funds needed to rebuild or replace deficient bridges is a significant challenge for the nation, discovering new ways to do more for America’s bridge infrastructure with fewer resources is the challenge—and an opportunity—for those who design, engineer and build bridges. That’s especially true considering that more than one in four bridges in America is structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. “Bridges are first and foremost socioeconomic lifelines, vital to our economic health,� said Ted Zoli, national technical director for bridges at HNTB Corporation, an employee-owned infrastructure firm. “They bring people and goods together and if they fail, we fail. It’s necessary that we see bridges for what they are: a durable investment in our future.� According to a recent survey by Kelton Research, a majority of Americans believe most U.S. bridges are in poor condition and nearly three-quarters think they are not inspected as often and thoroughly as they should be. “It’s true much of the nation’s bridge infrastructure—built in the middle of the last century as public works projects or as state Innovation and creativity play an increashighways expanded and the ingly essential role in modern bridge Interstate Highway System was design and engineering. constructed—is reaching the end of its anticipated life,� Zoli said. “However, the vast majority of these structures remain sound and they undergo regular inspections to maintain safety.� While Americans tend to underestimate the average life span of a bridge (36 years versus the actual 50 to 75 years), a majority agrees that most bridges are safe (65 percent). Concern, however, runs higher in rural areas, as 50 percent assume the bulk of the nation’s bridges are unsafe versus 33 percent in more populated areas. More rural Americans also worry that most bridges are in poor condition. One of the biggest problems facing the nation’s bridges is how to pay for the repair and the replacement of deficient structures, as well as the routine inspection and maintenance of bridges. Traditional state and federal gas tax revenue is in steep decline due to the increased fuel efficiency of vehicles while departments of transportation are facing severe budget cuts. “We need to leverage new and improved ways of identifying and financing infrastructure, as well as to develop new strategies to design and deliver bridges more efficiently,� Zoli said. Many Americans agree. Nearly half said in the future they would prefer to pay for the maintenance of existing bridges and construction of new ones through more tolls rather than higher sales taxes, higher gas taxes or higher property taxes. “Bridges help define our sense of place, enhance our quality of life and contribute to our economic vitality. Preserving, protecting and improving them are investments worth making,� Zoli added.
